Home Ants Bees Beetles ... Home Argentine Ants Although ants seem little and insignificant to us, once we look into their world they become important. The way Argentine ants build their homes and the way they communicate are unique. In addition, the social structure of the Argentine ant is different from other ants. To get into their world, it's necessary to learn more about them. Are you ready? Let's march into the underground world of the Argentine ant. Left . . . left . . . left, right, left . . . HABITATS The Argentine ants can usually be found in the top six feet of soil. They can live in moist soil underneath buildings and by sidewalks. Boards can also be used as shelter. Sometimes colonies develop in potted plant soil. Nests can be made of rocks, twigs, dirt, and so forth. Argentine ants relocate their nests often. Food sources and temperature affect where nests are built. Other types of ants live in anthills that look simple on the outside but contain a labyrinth of specialized chambers. WELCOME TO THE COLONY!

Home Ants Bees Beetles ... Home Army Ants What eats every animal in its path, raids other ant colonies, and migrates to find more food? An army ant colony! Army ants are amazing creatures! Not only have they founded nests, developed a social hierarchy, and migrated to other areas, but they also have a very interesting life cycle and colony structure. TAXONOMY Kingdom: Animalia Phylum: Arthropada Class: Insecta Family: Formicidae Genus: Eciton Species: Eciton burchelli NESTS HIERARCHY MIGRATION Because of their large colony size, army ants migrate in order to find food. They may raid other colonies and capture slaves . During the nomadic phase, army ants march at night and stop to camp in daylight. The colony starts its stationary phase when the need for food decreases. Then they make temporary nests, and change the nest everyday. Each of these rampages lasts for about seventeen days. Some say that army ants may have a collective intelligence Army ants kill and eat up to 100,000 animals in a day. Together they can kill lizards, snakes, chickens, pigs, goats, scorpions, and many other animals. They also climb trees and eat birds plus insects that may live in trees. DESCRIPTION Like many other insects, the body of an army ant has a head, thorax and abdomen. The head has a mouth, eyes and antennae. The mouth has two jaws called mandibles that are like scissors. Still, army ants can only swallow liquids because the solids form a ball that the ant spits out. Unlike other ants, army ants do not have compound eyes, but instead have single eyes (but they are still blind). Army ants use their antennae to sense smell and touch. This is how they know which colony and nest they belong to. They use their antennae to communicate as well. The thorax is connected to the head by joints called nodes. The thorax is between the head and abdomen. It is connected to the abdomen by a narrow waist called the petiole. The abdomen is in the shape of an oval. That is where the stomach, large intestine, sting, etc. are located.

Ant Information Return to previous page Phylum , Arthropoda; Class , Insecta; Order , Hymenoptera Identifying Features Appearance (Morphology) The body of an ant is clearly divided into three sections: the head, the thorax, and the gaster. (The narrow waist is actually within the abdomen, so the part of the abdomen behind the waist is called the gaster.) The waist can be made up of one or two small segments, depending on the species. Ants are social insects living in colonies comprised of one or a few queens, and many workers. The queen generally stays deep and safe within a nest. Most ants that you see are workers and these are all females. Depending on species, workers may be similar in size, or come in a range of sizes. Ants tend to come in dark or earth tones. Different species are black, earth-tone reds, pale tans, and basic browns. Caveat: Ants are very diverse and it is difficult to generalize about them. Therefore, if ants you collect don't quite fit these generalizations, consult such books as The Ants Adult Males and Females When ant colonies reproduce, the

Try putting a layer of cinnamon at all entrances to your home. It repels ants and is delicious on toast. Try spraying a deodorant detergent (Pine Sol or peppermint Castile soap), Windex or rubbing alcohol on ant trails in your home. This may erase the scent trail and cause the ants to become confused and discouraged. Remember: These ants can even get into screw-top jars without seals. They follow the spiral threads until they are inside! The WAYNE'S WORD staff has documented the aggressiveness of these little ants at Palomar College on several occasions: They devoured the termite colonies inside the rotten legs of a wooden table that was removed from the greenhouse. Within days the termites were exterminated. Note: These were dry-wood (aerial) termites, not subterranean termites. Argentine ants may not have any effect on subterranean termites deeply entrenched in the ground at the base of a foundation.

88. Lockley: Imported Fire Ants Four species of fire ants are currently found within the contiguous southeastern US Fire ants are omonivorous, feeding on almost any plant or animal material http://ipmworld.umn.edu/chapters/lockley.htm

Imported Fire Ants Timothy C. Lockley Imported Fire Ant Station USDA/APHIS/PPQ Gulfport, MS 39501 Apunte aquí para versión en Español X HISTORY: Map: APHIS Quarantine map showing fire ant distribution in U.S . Four species of fire ants are currently found within the contiguous southeastern United States. The tropical fire ant, Solenopsis geminata Fabricius, and the southern fire ant, S. xyloni McCook, are considered species "native" to the area. The two imported species of fire ants were introduced into the United States from South America at the port of Mobile, Alabama. The black imported fire ant, Solenopsis richteri Forel, arrived sometime around 1918 and the red imported fire ant, Solenopsis invicta Buren, in the late 1930's. The presence of imported fire ants in the United States was first reported in 1929 by Loding. Both species probably came to the port in soil used as ballast in cargo ships. In the years preceding the arrival of the red imported fire ant, the black imported fire ant slowly spread into adjacent counties in Alabama and Florida. Since its introduction, the red imported fire ant, a much more aggressive species than the black imported fire ant, has spread quickly. By the time of the first official survey carried out by the USDA in 1953, imported fire ants had invaded 102 counties in 10 states (Culpepper 1953). Today, the red imported fire ant has spread throughout the southeastern United States and Puerto Rico (Fig. 1)

ABSTRACT: Some recent studies have pointed that, the self-organization of neurons into brain-like structures, and the self-organization of ants into a swarm are similar in many respects. If possible to implement, these features could lead to important developments in pattern recognition systems, where perceptive capabilities can emerge and evolve from the interaction of many simple local rules. The principle of the method is inspired by the work of Chialvo and Millonas who developed the first numerical simulation in which swarm cognitive map formation could be explained. From this point, an extended model is presented in order to deal with digital image habitats, in which artificial ants could be able to react to the environment and perceive it. Evolution of pheromone fields point that artificial ant colonies could react and adapt appropriately to any type of digital habitat.
